The press is one of the mightiest forces
for good and for evil in the world. 1t
contributes to every cause for good or
evil. 1t furnishes arms for friend and
foe alike The church, the home, and
the school, must learn to appreciate and
to employ the press. The Doctor,
however. believes that a pure press is
one of the crying needs of the hour, and
says; Parents cannot keep their chill
dren from the knowledge of the evil
that is in the world, but they can re-
pudiate a daily paper that is filled with
purient reports of crime. They can and
they should make such bold appeal and
protest against corruption that editors
willCome to know that there is an element
